Xuzhuang sub-district in Taizhou, Jiangsu province, hosted a series of engaging activities on Sept 23 to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival, which fell on Sept 25 this year, fostering a harmonious, festive atmosphere centered around the idea of reunion.
A fun do-it-yourself mooncake-making activity brought warmth to the Cai Family Courtyard. The sub-district prepared a complete set of production materials such as fillings, molds, and gift boxes, in advance, and invited professional teachers to guide mooncake production on site.
